Call Admission Control for IEEE 802.11 Contention Access Mechanism Dennis Pong and Tim Moors School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, The University of New South Wales, Australia Email: dennisp@.au and t.moors@.au Abstract— This paper proposes an admission control algorithm that enables the upcoming IEEE 802.11e contention based En- hanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) to provide quanti- tative bandwidth guarantees for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs), rather than a relative prioritized service. The algo- rithm estimates the throughput that flows would achieve if a new
